PIC18f452

INTRO
8 ADCs (ANO-AN7) in PIC18f452 with 10-bit resolution
The A/D module has four registers. These registers are:
Used to configure
8- bit A/D Control Register 0 (ADCON0) settings of ADC
8- bit A/D Control Register 1 (ADCON1)
8- bit A/D Result High Register (ADRESH)
Hold binary result
8- bit A/D Result Low Register (ADRESL) of converted
analog signal

What an is an analog signal??

Is D.C voltage analog?
 SOME TERMILNOLIGIES
1. Resolution (n-bit): width of output data given by ADC
2. Conversion time: Time taken by ADC to convert analog signal to digital
3. Step Size: smallest step after which ADC provide us a new binary number
Step Size = (Vref+ - Vref-)/(2^n)
e.g for Vref=5v, n=10 step= 5/1024 = 4.88mv

4. Digital Data Output:

Dout = (Vin/StepSize)
e.g. if n=8-bit , vref = 2.56v , calculate binary output generated by ADC if a.)Vin= 1.7v, b.) Vin=2.1v
a.) step= 2.56/256 =10mv Dout=1.7v/10mv = 170 in decimal
ADC output= binary of 170=10101011

5. Tad conversion time per bit

For 10-bits, A/D conversion time = 12 Tad
Important parameter in clk selection of ADC ----- clk must be selected such that Tad>=1.6us
INSIDE ADCON0 REGISTER

bit 7-6 ADCS1:ADCS0: A/D Conversion Clock Select bits (ADCON0 bits in bold , ADCS2 bit is in ADCON1 reg)
<ADCS2:ADCS1:ADCS0> Clock Conversion
0 00 FOSC/2
0 01 FOSC/8
0 10 FOSC/32
0 11 FRC (clock derived from the internal A/D RC oscillator)
1 00 FOSC/4
1 01 FOSC/16
1 10 FOSC/64
1 11 FRC (clock derived from the internal A/D RC oscillator)

Rule to select this clock?

clk must be selected such that Tad>=1.6us
E.g if XTAL=10Mhz, then for FOSC/2 we have 10M/2=5Mhz
Tad=1/5M = 200ns <1.6us .. So its not valid clk

For FOSC/6??? And FOSC/32???

bit 5-3 CHS2:CHS0: Analog Channel Select bits

000 = channel 0, (AN0)
001 = channel 1, (AN1)
010 = channel 2, (AN2)
011 = channel 3, (AN3)
100 = channel 4, (AN4)
101 = channel 5, (AN5)
110 = channel 6, (AN6)
111 = channel 7, (AN7)
bit 2 GO/DONE: A/D Conversion Status bit indicates whether conversion completed or not?
When ADON = 1:
1 = A/D conversion in progress (setting this bit starts the A/D conversion which is automatically
cleared by hardware when the A/D conversion is complete)
0 = A/D conversion not in progress
bit 1 Unimplemented: Read as '0'
bit 0 ADON: A/D On bit
1 = A/D converter module is powered up
0 = A/D converter module is shut-off and consumes no operating current
INSIDE ADCON1 REGISTER

bit 7 ADFM: A/D Result Format Select bit

1 = Right justified. Six (6) Most Significant bits of ADRESH are read as 0.
0 = Left justified. Six (6) Least Significant bits of ADRESL are read as 0.

bit 6 ADCS2: A/D Conversion Clock Select bit

Used to select clock source as explained in ADCON0

bit 5-4 Unimplemented: Read as '0'

INSIDE ADCON1 REGISTER

bit 3-0 PCFG3:PCFG0: A/D Port Configuration Control bits

A = Analog input
D = Digital I/O

C/R =
# of analog input
channels / # of ADC
voltage references

PROGRAM : WRITE A MIKRO-C PROGRAM TO GET DATA FROM CHANNEL0 (AN0/RA0) OF
ADC AND DISPLAYS THE SAMPLED RESULT ON PORTC AND PORTD. THIS IS DONE EVERY
QUARTER OF SECOND.

void main(void)
What would be amendment
{ in this program if we want to
TRISC=0; display result of AN0 to
TRISD=0; PORTS, then wait for 1 sec
and then display result of
TRISA.TRISA0=1;
AN1 and then repeat this
ADCON0= 0x81; // Fosc/64, Channel 0, A/D is on process continuously???
ADCON1= 0xCE; // Right justified, Fosc/64, AN0 =Analog
while(1)
{
delay_ms(1); //Give A/D Channel time to sample
Do same code using
ADCON0.GO_DONE=1; //Start Converting
LIBRART functions of ADC?
while(ADCON0.GO_DONE == 1); //wait for completion of conversion
PORTC=ADRESL; // Display low byte on PORT C
PORTD=ADRESH; //Display high byte on PORT D
delay_ms(250); //wait for one quarter of second
